It will be possible also to connect a printer to the router USB port to share it with the other
devices connected to the local network allowing them to print documents in the printer
connected to the router.

installation software of that printer on each one of the PCs connected in the local network.
It will be just necessary to follow the indications in the installation procedure of the printer
software on each PC. If the installation software could require to connect the printer to the
PC, keep in mind to ensure that what it will be necessary to ensure is that it is connected to
the router.
